Sorry, I did post my newest picture for my pressure tank and the planned Xtra train in the wrong thread.
Here a reply of that post.
Three flat cars for my Xtra train with the extralarge pressure tank are painted and weathered.

Left a Red Caboose 42' flat car with its original lettering for NYC.
In Center my modified and shortened 36' flat car (originally also a 42' Red Caboose model) which is lettered for the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. after the prototypical flat car for transporting the fat pressure tank. And on right end a PRR F-29 flat car. All models are aged and relatively heavy weathered and so I think to have a good contrast to the fresh painted pressure tank. I will use the flats on the left and on the right as idler cars for the short Xtra-train which I plan for transporting this very large load.
Meanwhile the tank arrived and it looks fantastic! However before next picture I'm building an adequate fixing which does not exist on photo of prototype.
I think that I don't longer need than four or five days.
